Jennifer Lawrence: Male Actors Have a 'Longer Shelf Life'

Jennifer Lawrence leaves her hotel ahead of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 premiere that night on Wednesday (November 18) in New York City.

The 25-year-old actress appears on the latest THR cover and opens up about the response to her gender pay inequality essay.

“There’s always a backlash in everything that you do, but it’s not going to stop or change anything,” Jen told the magazine. “And it’s not only an issue in Hollywood. When you’re asking about roles for men and women, men certainly have a longer shelf life. Men can play the sexy lead for 20 years longer than we can.”

She’s always got her neurosurgery studies to fall back on whenever those start or finish or whatever, which is something most men in the acting profession can’t otherwise claim. Women like her in her position in the media arts have to be resourceful.

I hope her shelf life isn’t very long in Hollywood.

Hollywood is based in looks. It’s a shallow industry. There are many women who can still play sexy roles as they age. Jennifer Aniston, JLo, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz, Gabrielle Union, etc.
